Lifestyle Changes to Minimize Disease Risk, Part 2 (Breather Episode with Brad)
The B.rad Podcast
The Importance of Free Test Asterone
If you feel fantastic and your setting world records, your male sex hormon status is probably ok. If female testastrone values are off, you're going to have those same symptoms of a lethargic poor recovery from xercise or inability to focus. The higher the better. That means your bodi's producing a plenty. And we want to be on that high in the range of 200 to a thousand because we're comparing ourselves against a pathetic average.
In part two, I continue talking about the most effective lifestyle changes we can make to minimize disease risk factors.
Part one of this show focused on the benefits of getting regular blood work done and what to specifically look out for in blood tests, as well as the importance of glucose monitoring and tracking testosterone frequently. I also shared some of the best ways to track cardiovascular disease risk and this week, we’re picking up where we left off. The episode starts with some more important information related to blood work and testosterone levels, which then segues into the topic of optimizing sauna use. I also discuss the ideal ways to help your body recover from workouts and the best exercises for building greater androgen receptor density (as well as why this plays a big role in male hormone health).
